For now use the home key (long press) to avoid conflict with powerlaunch.

That's cool. Actually the home key works just fine for me. If it were possible & easier, is there a way just disable the power button for rotation entirely & just use the home key?
TX again.

New version: 0.0.13
If powerlaunch is installed, only home key initiates rotation.

If not, both power and home key work.

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810
 
any idea on what i asked a page back , about removeing the word "Home" from the top bar , so the statusbar applets dont over lap and make it look like crap

edit: another question , would it be possible to have a menu entry to initiate the rotation... kinda like the bluetooth on and off?

It should work as it is.

I myself have ~800Mb of internal memory for OS and the rest for storage, and booting from it instead of flash.

I installed and did the /root/install thing.

It asked me to reboot and i did.... but nothing happens after i press the power button??

Did you stop the Application manager first?
The install-xrandr-kernel script is VERY crude.
No error checking etc. yet, so if you have Application manager running, it is unable to install the needed packages with apt-get.

To test if you have all the necessary bits, run this in xterm:

xrandr -o left

if the screen goes portrait, then you have the correct packages installed,
but if you get an error, run the install-xrandr-kernel again and see there are no errrors.

Works wonderfully. Thank you very very much. I had never heard of powerlaunch before this. I like that too :)!

I'm a Linux newbie. I downloaded Fanoush's kernel_flasher.tgz. Can someone list the commands to flash the kernel including the tar parameters?
Thanks
